I liked this look into a life. Remembering things past always makes things seem more vivid. Recapturing youth is a good theme.

I really enjoyed this piece. I could almost feel that warm sun on those walls and see these homesteads in fields of grass. Nice imagery throughout. The content really interested me. I love that last line too.

Wow, this is really strong imagery. One less plate to clean hit like a punch. So much self consuming hopelessness is what it conveys to me.

Being a mother this one hits home. You really got your point across. I'm glad I read this after the weekend I just had with my 18 yera old. I'm not much for poems that rhyme but you manged it throughout the poem. The content is what I found interesting. I like the point of view.

It appears you are making your point.

Sounds like regret, despair, and some hope. Seperation is one of the hardest things we humans do. I liked your poem overall.

What?

I like the way it leaps along, it feels like you had an urgency to put pen to paper as if you were about to lose something. I enjoyed it

I liked the rythym of your writing. I noticed twice you used the word "furry" and I believe you wanted "fury". Once 'nor furry could move him' and 'her furry was palpable'. I could be wrong but fury makes more sense. Good story and I like the the irony at the end.
